KALKI THE EXTINGUISHER OF EVIL: A GLIMPSE OF THE FINAL INCARNATION

“Whenever and wherever there is a decline in righteousness, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of vice – at that time I descend Myself. In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to re-establish the principles of dharma, I advent Myself epoch after epoch” Since the beginning, Lord Vishnu incarnated in various forms on earth from time to time. Whenever there was a disbalance in Creation, it was ensured that the avatars worked on rectifying it. The avatar was bespoke of the yuga as the yugas needed to change with time. He took birth as a Brahmin (Parshurama) to annihilate the corrupt Kshatriyas, as a prince(Rama) to slay the demon king of Lanka and as a cowherd(Krishna) who executed the cunning Kansa and steered the Pandavas to victory. Lord Vishnu is said to have ten avatars (dashavatars) in the present cycle of four yugas. Now, being the Kalyug, is the time when the tenth and the final avatar of Lord Vishnu will take birth on Earth...

जानिए क्या है शिव तत्व

यह सृष्टि 16 तत्वों से निर्मित है। पहले पाँच तत्व , पृथ्वी , जल , अग्नि , वायु और आकाश , पृथ्वी लोक से सम्बन्धित हैं। छठा तत्व ‘ शिव तत्व ’ है जिसका सम्बन्ध आज्ञा चक्र से है तथा वह माथे के केंद्र में स्थित है। विशुद्धि और आज्ञा चक्र के बीच में 11 तत्व हैं किन्तु फिर भी शिव तत्व को छठा तत्व कहा जाता है क्योंकि शिव आदि , अनादि , अनन्त , अखण्ड  .....   हैं जो बुद्धि की समझ से परे हैं। सारे तत्व उसी में निहित हैं। एक सामान्य मनुष्य का मस्तिष्क 7 से 8 प्रतिशत की क्षमता पर कार्य करता है जो कि भौतिक दुनिया के अनुभवों के लिए पर्याप्त है किन्तु शिव तत्व का अनुभव करने के लिए उच्च इंद्रियों की जागृति आवश्यक है। शरीर में तीन प्रकार की ग्रन्थियाँ होती हैं , ब्रह्म ग्रंथि , विष्णु ग्रंथि तथा रूद्र ग्रंथि। ब्रह्म ग्रंथि तथा विष्णु ग्रंथि खोलना अपेक्षाकृत सरल है किन्तु रूद्र ग्रंथि को खोलना बहुत कठिन।   इसके खुले बिना   शेष 11 तत्वों का...

THE LORD OF ELEMENTS

The word 'tatva' translates as element, something which is created and not the creator. Everything that is created is composed of 16 tatvas. The first five–prithvi (earth), jal (water), agni (fire), vayu (air) and akash (ether)—pertain to the Bhuloka or earth. The sixth element is the Shiv tatva, which corresponds to the agya chakra, located at the centre of the forehead. Between the visshudhhi and agya, there are 11 more tatvas and yet the Shiv tatva is called the sixth tatva because Shiv is adi, anadi, anant, akhand... which is beyond the comprehension of buddhi. A normal human brain functions on 7-8 per cent efficiency, which is enough for experiences of physical world, but to experience Shiv tatva, activation of higher senses is required. There are three knots in the body—Brahm Granthi, Vishnu Granthi and Rudra Ganthi. It is easiest to open the Brahma Granthi; Vishnu Granthi also opens up relatively easily, but opening the Rudra Granthi is extremely difficult. Till it ope...

Manifestation of thoughts on the night of Holi

It's how the divine asks us to change

This was nearly 15 years ago, we were travelling to the higher reaches of Badrinath and on the way back we went into a restaurant just outside the temple. We asked for some cow milk and told the owner to be doubly sure that it was cow milk and not powdered milk; he assured us and went into the kitchen. We waited for 10 minutes and then I decided to take a look in the kitchen. Inside to my surprise, I saw him boiling water and adding powdered milk to it! On confronting, he cheekily replied, “Now where do I get cows here?” I told him that if you people won’t send your cows to the butchers then you would have them and your character would be devik and not asuric, for this is what you people have become. How can you fool people at the dham of Vishnu? Another time on my visit to Kedarnath, I found families thronging the shrine in a picnic and holiday mood, filmi songs blaring and card parties galore. Inside the dharamshalas surrounding the shrine, people dressed as Shiva waving their tr...
